Odd you laugh about iillinois but you sure had your eye on Tammy Duckworth in the elections. Pull out Illinois and all you’ll have a deeper sinkhole. Ms. Duckworth is terrific. And I don't laugh about Illinois, just the flyover areas of the state that remind me of the same sorts of areas in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska. Been to all of them. I do like Chicago. It figures that an urban dweller like you would blow off the beautiful parts of a state to embrace the crime ridden, bankrupt, murder capital of the midwest. When we lived in Illinois we visited Chicago on weekends going to museums and even a "speakeasy" place that was fun to visit. This is back in the early 70's. Probably won't be visiting again soon. I lived there for 2 summers and a winter (2-3 months at a time). As long as you understand where you are and where not to go, a young person can have a real good time there. It is certainly more fun if you drink tho. ;-) I'll bet I go into neighborhoods in Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, and DC that would make a white bread boy like you pee his pants. |

Not likely, Remember I grew up in "Souf'ese" DC. Not much scares me. |

I guess we are just smarter than you. I worked nights in downtown Oakland 50+ years ago. Lots of bad areas then also. I was smart enough to stay out of trouble, and now smart enough to stay out of a lot of neighborhoods at night. |
